Background
Marcus was born Robert Marcus Knight Jr. to Robert Knight Sr. and Penelope Knight (nee Ulster) in Chicago, Illinois on September 9th, 1973. Marcus was raised in Knight family tradition, trained for almost any situation and firmly conventional. Robert was the primary parent and very strict and abusive and young Marcus found no more comfort in his mother. His only positive influence was Dr. Martin Zegretti a therapist friend of his mother's. He was enrolled in various private schools with other children of the Knight's peers. His only consistent friend was Rebecca Allister a relationship which would continue into their mutual adulthoods. Marcus killed his father in order to gain greater control of the company, a fact numerous board members and employees are aware of as he walked into the board meeting and shot his father to death at the table. P

Penelope's suspicions about his involvement would drive him to have her forcibly committed in an elder home. Shortly afterwards Marcus made the decision to relocate to Atlanta for better opportunities. In Atlanta he has taken up the cause of campaigning publicly against the CFA and privately pulling strings to ensue its demise.

Personality
Publicly Marcus is friendly and charismatic. He comes across as polite to coworkers and has an almost playful way of interacting with interviewers.

Marcus has a tendency to be obsessive. Primarily this can be seen through his fixation on ending the world of superheroes and villains and need to be in control. He keeps his living and workspaces merticulously neat.

He is also fond of nature and all the plants in his offices/home are real. His sense of decor reflects his fascination with the savagery of wild animals and the jungle.

Relationships
Marcus' primary relationship is with his wife Rebecca. The two met in primary school and found commonality in their attitudes towards the wealthy society they were being brought into. Since then she has held the exclusive title of his best and somewhat only real friend. Around age 30 Marcus decided that it would mutually benefit their public images to get married. She enjoys getting on his nerves, knowing he can never actually be mad at her and vice-versa. They generally spend their time in different houses but see eachother fairly regularly nonetheless. To say the marriage is open would be an understatement as both parties regularly see other people for sexual and romantic trysts. Rebecca is somewhat aware of the worst things Marcus has done but not fully.
